PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-91-22 RESOLUTION APPROVING TRACT 6400, THE APPLICATION OF PRESLEY HOMES OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WHEREAS, Presley Homes of Northern California has applied for approval to subdivide an approximately 271 acre site into 100 single-family lots with a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet located generally southwest of the intersection of Dublin Canyon Road and Foothill Road); and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD (Planned unit Development) - Low Density Residential District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of March 27, 1991, the Planning commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, the Planning commission has made the following findings: 1. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed subdivision, with an overall density of 0.37 units per acre is consistent with the "Low Density residential" General Plan land use designation of the site. The proposed map is consistent overall with the approved PUD plan, which was consistent with other General Plan policies and programs when it was approved in June 1990. Although General Plan policies normally do not permit homes to be built above the 670 foot contour line, when the General Plan Amendment for this site was processed, the City council made a special provision to allow houses to be built above 670 feet in elevation. Thus, the 26 homes that are above the 670 foot contour line are in accordance with General Plan policies for this site. 2. The site is physically suitable for this type of development and density. The topography of the site is that of rolling and steep-sided hills, cut by two creek systems. The density of the subdivision has been reduced to below that permitted by the General Plan designation. This limits grading on the hillsides. The street system has been limited to that
